Conclusion

 

The main reason for my aborting this project

Of the Sic Kunt

Is how tired I am of show offs

We live in a world packed

With extravert celebrities

Usually men

But just so there are some ‘sassy women’

Who grow just as tedious very quickly

There was also the question

Of making one a target of psychos

& highly aggressive people

Who mistake their notion of Sic Kunt

With people who take their image & their ‘code’ really seriously

Whereas my approach is more about

Taking life as it comes

Not seeking to clandestinely profit

Sometimes teaching/healing

Sometimes having some fun

There is also the question

Of me not having suffered enough

I hear a lot about ‘imposter syndrome’

But I think it’s bullshit

I think one would be advised

To be humble

& to recognise

All those others who suffer terrible plights

& listen to them

When my mate says “you don’t give a fuck

You’re off ur chops”

What he’s really saying is

That I’ll talk with anyone

As an equal

& I don’t care for small talk

I’m seeking real human connection

The intimate/infinite

The reality is

I really do care about people & the planet

But I try & live in the present

Continuously

I believe in being receptive & responsive

As the Ancients commended

But in this age

Of ‘Assertiveness training courses’

& ‘strategic communicators’

Let’s just say that all leaves me cold

I’ll say it here & now to those who’ve tagged me

A Sic Kunt

That I’m not even sure I exist

Sure I receive some blows

Quite frequently really

Some might say that’s inevitable

Going so close to the edge

But all that may just be

Universal tides

In a very unorthodox way

  In a very unorthodox way # (For Max Sometimes) In a very unorthodox way, I’m an Irish Catholic. Of course, in terms of Belfast politics that MEANS something. & while that maybe true – in Australia, for different reasons, as Fr Bob Maguire put it – when Mary first saw Jesus walking out of the tomb on day 3 of his death, she exclaimed “JESUS!!!” – the first time his name was used as a swear word. In that way of an irreverent joke, REVERENTIAL & ORTHODOX are not my way to the Sacred/Love*. For me – I’m not really into Theology – as Max Sometimes quoting me, quoting my mate Richard, quoting Bob Marley, quoting Rasta elders, said today “who feels it knows it.” & I believe that if I am to write my Mass/Symphony of Hope/Love, I must include at least one blasphemous hymn, else the vision depicted be simplistic, like George Handel’s Messiah. The Hope/Love represented or perhaps alluded to (if you prefer) must include genuine despair, dejection, transgression else it...

Love

  Love   Some people exude a loving energy Like Mary & you feel transformed From your woes & spleen & love is woken in you   They made no mistake when they named her Light floods you when you’re with her & though she struggles to find words Now she’s 91 years old She loves all the more Like the unknowable name of God   Like that Indian girl People would visit To receive wisdom & healing Just by her presence She locates the good in me & I feel so much better About being alive   She reminds me That I can play that role for others That I can let go of the grief, the hurt & let go of the rage   She reminds me of my mission To bring truth & light Through the darkness & show the path to follow For other lost people    & that the love she exudes Is as much a reflection of my love That I had forgotten I possessed     Published ...
